September 2003 Archive

Well, seeing as I've put up a load of photos, I thought I'd better put some kind of content up as well. So this may become a hive of interesting and informative information, or it might just not. You'll have to wait and see....

OK, so here's a random fact for you:

Ever heard the expression At sixes and sevens? Well, the origin of this comes from the mid 14^th century, and releates to the Guilds of Tradesmen in the city of London.

The Merchant Taylors and the Skinners were the sixth and seventh guilds, founded within a few days of each other, five other guilds having already received their charters. The age of each guild dictated its position in the Lord Mayor's procession. The Merchant Taylors and the Skinners argued for fifty years as to which should go sixth in the procession. In the end, in 1494, Sir Robert Billesden, the Lord Mayor of the time, decreed that they should take it in turns to go sixth and seventh.

Hence at sixes and sevens, when one is unsure about something.

So BBC 6music repeated the Pixies' Glastonbury 2003 set last night on their 'dream ticket' show. It's currently up on the 6music's archive at the moment, but only for a week, if you want to catch it again. However, through the wonders of modern technology I manged to save the realplayer stream, so if you want to download it, there's two versions below:

• The Pixies live at Glastonbury 1989 (with DJ intro) - 10.03 MB
• The Pixies live at Glastonbury 1989 (no intro)- 9.93 MB

Note: The links have been removed due to webspace issues. If you want the either version, email me () and I'll send it to you.
